Digitalisation & Urbanisation

The accelerating digitalisation and AI transformation in society are affecting several aspects of infrastructure development – among other things; we see how global data centres have increasingly been placed in the Nordic region for the so-called FAANG group (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google). The Nordics is an attractive location for data centres because of the climate, electricity access and political stability. The Nordic data centres are used for the companies’ European capacity expansion to meet the increased need for secure data storage and stable data transfer. Eleda’s companies are good at earthworks for these data centres.

Growth is also good in logistics centres, driven by increased capacity for e-commerce, retail, electronics and media, where our companies also do a lot of groundwork.

Another area is fibre-optic cables and networks. This includes connecting households, workplaces, and other facilities, laying new fibre along railways, and maintaining networks of all project sizes.

The Eleda companies, Akeab, Salboheds, JVAB and Mark & Energibyggarna, handle operations in this sector.
